EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - a meeting of angry loyalists during the American Revolution. The engraving, skillfully crafted by Elkanah Tisdale in 1795 for John Trumbull's epic poem "M Fingal" provides us with a window into the late 18th century. The scene unfolds within an atmospheric interior, illuminated by gaslight that casts eerie shadows on the faces of these disgruntled men. Gathered together in what appears to be a dimly lit cellar or barrel room, their expressions range from frustration to fury as they discuss their allegiance to Britain amidst growing revolutionary sentiments. The tension is palpable as these loyalists grapple with conflicting loyalties and fear for their future. One cannot help but imagine the heated debates and impassioned arguments that must have filled this space. Intriguing details such as tar barrels and feathers hint at potential consequences awaiting those who openly supported British rule. These symbols serve as reminders of the brutal tactics employed during this tumultuous period - acts like tarring and feathering were used to publicly shame individuals deemed traitors by revolutionaries. Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the emotional turmoil experienced by those caught between loyalty to King George III and aspirations for independence. It serves as a poignant reminder of how deeply divided America was
